The 107 doesn't fair to well with salt and dampness to begin with coupled with what looks like very poor care created a deadly combination for it. It's just sad someone mistreated it so badly considering that it's grey market to begin with and on top of that there was only a handful of 5.0 107's made worldwide. Wish I had time, money and space the aluminum 5.0 in it could be a fun builder.
Which yard did you find it in? I'm always scouring the yards in Ogden, and am looking for more to add to my weekend trips!
